In December, a Muscovite visited one of the popular manicure and pedicure chain’s salons seeking a high standard of service. The session went wrong when the master caused a severe injury to her little finger. The finger became inflamed, and she needed medical care. Doctors diagnosed paronychia, an infection of the tissue around the nail. The treatment plan stretched over a full month to restore health and function. [Citation: Telegram channel Puree]
The injured client initially considered settling the matter outside court. The general director of the salon chain, Anton Derkonos, delegated the matter to an assistant for investigation and offered a new visit certificate worth 15 thousand rubles, hoping this would resolve the issue. It is noted that last year the Fingers brand appeared in Forbes’ top 10, underscoring the contrast between expectation and experience in this case. [Citation: Forbes list]
Later, during a follow-up, the patient showed signs of neuropathic changes linked to the procedure, raising concerns about nerve involvement and longer-term impact on nervous system function. The case drew attention to the importance of proper hygiene, professional technique, and appropriate aftercare in cosmetic nail services. [Citation: Medical follow-up report]
